    Another vote for the Pacific Northwest, so many great rides here, especially in the Eastern Washington Palouse area, very similar to the Black Hills.

    Pacific NW would be great. Baker City in eastern Oregon is a popular marshalling spot for rallies -- Hell's Canyon, Snake River ... some great riding in the region.

    Hold it in June/July so a contingent can do the Dalton to Prudhoe Bay, epic ride.

    A variation on my "PNW" suggestion... North East Oregon -- "Blue Mountain" region. Absolutely some of the best roads I've ridden in this region. OR DOT takes great care of the roads... routes are fun-fun-fun; some with great "sweepers" with an occasional switch-back thrown in. Many bike rallies are based out of towns like Joseph, OR or Pendleton, OR (larger of the 2). In both towns, hotel and camping options.

    I like the Northwest. Since we may not have a tent why not do a tour instead of a rally. Meet somewhere for a night or two and then ride to a new place each day after that. It wouldn't have to be a group ride, it could be several small groups or ride at your own pace to the next nights destination. We could see a lot more country and people could join or leave the tour at each nights destination. If you have two days that's great, if you have five days you can see much more.

    Just a thought but it might be fun.

    Not a bad idea, start on the east coast and head west on a predetermined route with planned stop and meet points along the way. A rider or small groups could head either direction to meet then ride back or keep going west as far as they want before turning back. It would take a lot of planning and coordination.

    Wow!
    I like that idea of a "rally in motion" - because isn't that what we're about?
    It will take some serious coordination, but I'm sure it's nothing that can't be overcome by due diligence and a few above average IQs.
    We could do this.
    Cheers,
